Welcome to my blog!

After much careful consideration (and asking my facebook friends), I have decided to blog about my experience with Guillain-Barre'. I am still not 100% sure whether the 'a' follows the 'i' in Guillain (?) but I don't think it matters at this point. I am also trying to remember from my Spanish classes in high school how to do the accent point over a letter. As you readers can note, I am new to this blogging stuff. Anyway. Guillain-Barre'. Let me spare you the Google search, because it will only frighten you. Guillain-Barre' is a syndrome, not a disease, and the difference enlies in that GB has no known cause unlike a disease. There is not much research that can be done because it comes on so suddenly and randomly. You can ask a doc as many questions about the possible causes of GBS 'til you are blue in the face and he or she will say "maybe" or "could be" (now isn't that refreshing. ha) Now that I have you all intrigued, this blog will take you through my days with GBS. As I write this on August 19th, I am sitting at my parent's house recuperating. My journey with this french disease started on July 18th. Recovery can last anywhere from 3 weeks to three years and my doc told me that I am on the 6 week route. In my professional opinion, I should be 100% back to EJ-self before you can sing "a turkey named burt" -a kindergarten thanksgiving classic! Since I am easily fatigued, you will have to stay tuned! I hope you are all as excited as I am lol.
